Please find here a presentation of our Company Floating Life specialising in the management and running of super and mega yachts.

The head offices of our Company are located in Switzerland, but we also operate in Italy and China and have the capability of providing worldwide assistance in the yachting field.

The partners operating in the Company are all highly experienced in this specific sector and can guarantee all-round technical-administrative management for your yacht, whether this be in terms of private use, charter, refitting or supervision of new constructions and sales.

Our aim is to co-ordinate owners’ needs with the reality of the vessel, so that our clients can live the yachting experience in total relaxation, without having to worry about the day to day running of the vessel or crew. The evaluation of suitable moorings, negotiating insurance policies, organising bunkering (refuelling), looking after domestic appliances on board, etc., are just a few examples of the kind of activities that Floating Life can take responsibility for, taking the burden off the owner. One of our main objectives is that of helping crew members to continually improve in terms of professionalism, and we assist them in the organisation of work and administrative systems on board, as well as with routine and special maintenance issues and vessel logistics.

Regarding our charter service, we have strong ties with the major operators in this specific sector, meaning that we can openly exchange information with a view to contacting potential clients for this type of use. We also look after booking calendars for vessels both for chartering and private use.

Concerning our sales services, we are well integrated in the worldwide major brokers network and we can boast preferential contacts with final clients.

With the opening of a representative office in China and our participation for the third year to the Shanghai Boat Show, we have already laid the foundations for the development of our services in the Asiatic market.
Thanks to the knowledge acquired during the design and the construction of a 45 mt Expedition Yacht in China, our staff in the Shanghai office can also manage the production and the exportation of high quality yacht interior design. This service is very attractive for its economic impact on the yacht production cost of the actual European productions.

Featured Boat 95' Benetti Converted Tugboat 1953 €1,400,000 "D.P. Monitor" is a pleasurable cruising yacht that makes the most of her design capacity. She is appreciated for her optimum seaworthiness and stability - two fundamental requisites for those who demand the maximum serentity from their vessels. "D.P. Monitor" is the ideal yacht for owners fascinated by the classic lines of the working boat. Constructed in 1953 by Cantieri Benetti Shipyards, "D.P.
